2026 Pioneer Classic

While the Wildwood golf course was still quite soggy from heavy rain earlier this week, golfers enjoyed two days of good fall weather for our 2026 edition of the Pioneer Classic.  Thanks to the ground crew for getting the golf course cleaned up and playable in time for the tournament!  Thank you also to Bob Lee and Craig Walby for running the Pioneer Classic, to Gord Malinowski, Roland Tamke, Gary Morrison and Scott Sutherland for looking after post-tournament beverages and food, and to all the volunteers who pitched in to put up/take down the tent, tables and chairs used for our social gathering.  Results from this year’s Pioneer Classic are posted below.
